Chapter 768

After deciding to spar, Leng Yuexi returned to her room to change into her battle attire.

Xu Jingming waited for her in the living room and, in his spare time, studied a Grade SS body-strengthening technique.

But before he could read even a few pages, he noticed Leng Yuechan pacing back and forth in the living room, seemingly doing nothing in particular.

"What? Are you itchy? Want me to scratch you?"

Xu Jingming closed the manual and sighed.

Leng Yuechan, who had deliberately changed into a long dress and was swaying in front of Xu Jingming, froze in shock.

This isn't how the plot was supposed to go!

In her imagination, Xu Jingming should have been utterly stunned by her beauty.

"Don't you think I look different today from before?"

Leng Yuechan couldn't help asking.

She even spun around instinctively, her skirt fluttering to reveal a pair of fair, straight, beautiful legs beneath.

"Changed your style of dress?"

Xu Jingming studied her closely and asked tentatively.

"You got it! I thought you hadn't noticed!"

Leng Yuechan giggled, then puffed out her chest proudly:

"How's that? Don't you think I've matured a lot? Now you can finally call me Senior, right?"

Xu Jingming: "......"

So all this fuss was just so you could get me to call you Senior?

You could've just said so earlier—you made me unable to focus on my manual.

"Senior, hello," Xu Jingming said helplessly.

Compared to her sister Leng Yuexi, Leng Yuechan, who had graduated three or four years ago, still carried the clarity and foolishness of a college student...

"Good, good, good!"

Leng Yuechan, having gotten what she wanted, seemed immensely satisfied.

Her beautiful big eyes narrowed into crescents, and the corners of her red lips curled upward.

"Xiao Chan, what's wrong?"

At that moment, Leng Yuexi stepped out of the bedroom, freshly dressed in her battle attire, and looked at her in confusion.

"Nothing. I'll just go change, then we'll head to the training ground!"

Leng Yuechan dashed into the bedroom.

"This girl is always rushing around—when will she ever truly grow up?"

Leng Yuexi shook her head and rubbed her temple.

"It's fine like this. Everyone has different personalities.

There's no need to force someone to be stoic—just be thorough in what they do."

Xu Jingming smiled.

"Really?"

Leng Yuexi blinked, lost in thought.

For someone as flighty as Leng Yuechan,

wearing a long dress that hinders movement was practically torture.

Soon, she emerged in her battle attire and joined Xu Jingming and Leng Yuexi at the training ground.

The training ground lay behind Leng Yuexi's villa, covering roughly ten thousand square meters.

The floor was paved with alloy, and the surrounding walls and ceiling were made of extremely durable materials.

"How's my private training ground?" Leng Yuexi asked with a smile.

She wore a light blue female battle suit.

Under the suit, her chest was full and firm.

Her waist was slender, and the shape of her navel was faintly visible.

Her legs were long and straight, radiating undeniable charm.

"Is this... Grade A alloy?" Xu Jingming asked, tapping the ground with his battle boots.

Xu Jingming frowned, stomping the ground with his combat boots. "Is this... A-grade alloy?"

Leng Yuexi nodded with a smile. "The entire ten-thousand-square-meter floor is paved with Grade A alloy one meter thick.

Even an eighth-rank Grand Master couldn't easily shatter it."

"Damn, one meter thick of Grade A alloy—this is seriously luxurious," Xu Jingming muttered in awe.

Just the cost of this training ground probably rivaled that of a Grade SSS battle suit.

The training ground was a square, one hundred meters on each side.

Xu Jingming and Leng Yuexi stood at the center, roughly fifty meters apart.

"Since we met, we've never fought once, have we?

This time, go all out—I want to see just how strong this Grade SS of yours really is!"

"This time, give it everything you've got—let me see just how strong you really are as an SS-rank!"

Scorching Nine You Purple Flame erupted violently, and the surrounding temperature spiked.

In Leng Yuexi's beautiful eyes, a flicker of fierce battle intent surfaced!

She and Su Qingli were from the same generation.

Though her cultivation progress was much slower, she too craved battle!

Her desire to become leader of the Spirit Fox Guild stemmed from wanting more resources to climb to the peak of the power hierarchy!

Otherwise, she'd have no interest in that position at all.

"As you wish."

Xu Jingming grinned across from her.

He clenched his right hand in midair—the Molten Ash Black Obsidian Spear materialized in his grip.

Brilliant Doushen Thunder erupted, and simultaneously, his seventh-rank mid-level aura surged outward like an invisible shockwave!

The brilliant Capital Divine Thunder erupted violently, along with the sudden surge of a seventh-rank mid-level aura, as if an invisible shockwave rapidly radiated outward!!

At the edge of the training ground, Leng Yuechan, who had just been cheering for Leng Yuexi,

froze the instant she sensed that aura.

Her body stiffened, her voice trapped in her throat.

She couldn't utter a sound.

At the same time, her entire body trembled uncontrollably.

As if something terrifying had locked onto her, a wave of overwhelming fear surged within her!

"Just the aura alone can be this strong?"

Leng Yuechan felt her scalp prickling.

She was a sixth-rank adept herself!

Even facing an eighth-rank Grand Master releasing his aura, she'd never felt this powerless.

On the other side, Leng Yuexi also sensed Xu Jingming's aura.

Though she didn't freeze like her sister, her face was filled with shock:

"You... are already seventh-rank mid-level?"

"Lucky breakthrough a few days ago."

Xu Jingming smiled slightly, twirling his spear casually.

"So, still wanna fight? I won't activate my enhancement state."

In the same rank, Leng Yuexi possessed only an S-rank ability, while he had an SS-rank ability—he already held absolute advantage over her.

If he activated Thunder Extreme State or Thunder Storm State, it'd be outright bullying.

"Lucky breakthrough?"

Leng Yuexi bit her red lip lightly, stunned.

Su Qingli was one thing.

That woman still held the record for the fastest ascent to ninth rank in Great Xia.

But how did Xu Jingming break through so fast too?

Just over ten days ago, during the wilderness battle for Divine Blood, he was still sixth-rank upper.

Now, in the blink of an eye, his rank matched hers!

"Sometimes I wonder if you're even human—your breakthrough speed is insane."

Leng Yuexi said slowly.

After taking a deep breath, her eyes blazed with renewed battle intent:

"But since we're already here, let's keep going!"

SWISH—

Purple flames swirling, Leng Yuexi charged toward Xu Jingming with the Crimson Chain Sword like an arrow loosed from a bow!

And then... there was no "then."

Even though Xu Jingming hadn't specifically used Doushen Thunder to attack.

But in terms of spear technique and physicality, he utterly overwhelmed Leng Yuexi.

Despite using every trick she had, Leng Yuexi could not make Xu Jingming's stance budge an inch.

Instead, she exhausted herself completely.

In the end, she failed to force Xu Jingming to use his second hand.

With one hand holding the spear, she was utterly crushed...
